7 important takeaways from Packers 53-man roster

4. Packers keep 11 offensive linemen, for now

The Packers' initial 53-man roster includes 11 offensive linemen. However, tackle Luke Tenuta might be headed for injured reserve. According to Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated, Tenuta could return from injury early in the season.

Green Bay had to include him on the 53 first and then move him to IR. Doing so before the roster cutdown would mean he couldn't play all season.

The Packers have excellent depth at tackle with David Bakhtiari, Elgton Jenkins, Rasheed Walker, and Yosh Nijman. There is more uncertainty at the interior positions -- Green Bay stuck with guard Royce Newman despite a disappointing summer.

3. Packers only keep four cornerbacks

The Packers surprisingly released cornerback Corey Ballentine, who was projected to win the CB5 spot and play a key role on special teams. It leaves the team with only four cornerbacks on the active roster.

Rookie Carrington Valentine has been phenomenal all summer and deservedly takes his place as the Packers' fourth cornerback.

The wait for Eric Stokes' return goes on. He begins the regular season on the physically unable to perform list, which means he must miss at least four games.

Green Bay will likely re-sign a couple of cornerbacks to the practice squad, ensuring the team has solid depth behind the top four. The Packers could look to add a cornerback who was cut from another team.
